I just put my alacasia Polly in water because has bean dropping leaves like crazy hopefully this helps? Roots looks really healthy and long so I trimmed them

Roots look great. Sometimes Alocasia drop leaves if they don’t get enough light. Does it have a dedicated grow light?

My Alocasia corms thrived when I put them in fluval stratum under a 12 hour grow light (Aug 8 I harvested the corms and this is an old progress photo from Sept 6)
